Take it from me, someone who knows, that if this app really did come out there would be people who would be out there hunting for you rather than the machines!!!!

Very bad idea.

Whoever is proposing this obviously doesn't make a good living from gambling so they are trying another angle. Over 50% of any form of gambling is hard work and this idea would punish the most organised and able people, therefore they wouldn't go within a million miles of it. The only people this app would concern are machine players who play for profit, so why would they want to contribute to something that would work against them - if they were successful at what they did?

Also in principle, why would you not have an app for fruit machine information? The reason is because it would be a complete failure just like locations would.

Surely for people as brilliant as you (cough) all your methods are so exclusive that it would be useful as it would only be you looking for said machine.

What it wouldn't be helpful for is preserving value in ancient playables in holes which shouldn't really concern "top boys" as this may even cause a lowering in pro numbers if all old stuff is known.

Pub machines are on their last legs in terms off being long run good money anyway unless this 100jp stirs things up.

Yes OB, correct, for the top boy elite this app would benefit them to a reasonable degree. For the masses it'll be an extra platform in which to indulge in player tactics. The question is, can you produce a suitably sized carrot to tempt in the masses?

Fancy a tasty snack in between two round pieces of bread?

There's a bap for that (apologies to the cob, butty and batch brigades)

Lol what have I stirred up?

Need something to hold your burger, salad and relish together? There's a bap for that.

In all seriousness though if you were looking to design a piece of software which would enable you to map out every fruit machine in the land then there certainly is a gap for an app for that, but ultimately I don't see a viable venture here. As RLM rightly points out (credit where it's due, most of his posts are shit) it levels the playing field and that only benefits those at the bottom end of it. I know some players who have a phenominal work ethic when it comes to checking pubs, noting when stuff went in etc and any app would benefit the lazy.

If this were pitched at the Dragons of Dragon's Den, Duncan Bannatyne would soon be muttering the words 'Ah'm Ooot'.


But fair play to you Feeder, at least you have some ideas about you. A lot of players, when asked what they had planned for the future, simply shrugged their shoulders and took another sip of their pint.
